Wix Stores: Setting Up a Local Delivery Option
8 min read
Cater to your local customers by setting up a hand-delivery option. You can set up delivery within a specific time frame (e.g. next day delivery).
Alternatively, you can let customers select the day and time they prefer to receive the order.
Step 1 | Name the delivery area & set a rate
To get started, give your delivery area a name and decide on a price. The name and price appear in the Cart (if the display of delivery rates is enabled) and on the Checkout Page.
To set a delivery area name and price:
- Go to Shipping, delivery & fulfillment in your site's dashboard.
- Create a shipping region or click Add Rate to add a rate to an existing region.
- Select Local delivery.
- Enter the name displayed at checkout (e.g. Delivery to San Francisco).
- Enter your delivery rate.
- (Optional) Offer free delivery to customers who make purchases over a set amount:
- Select the Offer free delivery when a customer buys over a certain amount checkbox.
- Enter the amount.
Note:
You can add up to 50 local delivery areas per region. For example, if you set up the US as a shipping region, you can add up to 50 local delivery areas in the US.
Step 2 | Define your delivery area
There are 3 methods you can use to define your delivery area. You can set a radius around an address, draw a map, or select postal codes (zip codes) to mark the area.

Step 3 | Define delivery days & time frames
Now that you have set up where you deliver to and how much you charge, you can decide on the timing.
You can offer customers one delivery option and add a short message (e.g. Same Day) so users know when to expect their order.
Altenatively, you can let customers select their preferred delivery time slot from a calendar.

Step 4 | Setting up your Order tab
To get a clear picture of which orders you need to fulfill on specific days and at specific times, add the "Delivery Method" and "Delivery Time" columns to the Orders tab.
To add columns in the Orders tab:
- Go to Orders in your site's dashboard.
- Click the Customize Column icon at the top right.
- Select the checkmarks next to Delivery time and Delivery method.
